Hey hang up listeners, you're about to hear a preview of this week's episode,

the coronavirus pandemic has made it a challenge for us to do this show

in a financially sustainable way. Because of that, we're temporarily changing how we do the

podcast. Every other week, and that includes this week, the full hang up and

listen will be for Slate Plus members only, with just the first segment available to non-members.

If you want to hear every word of every episode we do, you need to subscribe to Sleep Plus.

It's only $35 for the first year and your membership will help assure

that we can continue doing Hangup for a very long time. If you want to

Hi, I'm Josh Levine,

This is Hang Up and Listen for the week of May 26, 2020.

Finally, we'll talk to Simon Anthony.

Sudoku appreciator.
